 ran off with it. It was larger than his head, and 

 looked droll enough in his mouth, stretched to the

 cut through, and taking out a piece, let the rest fall. 

 Not taking the trouble to pick it up, he returned 

 with another little cry to the dish, and this time 

 chancing on a smaller one, carried it off in safety. 



Having stowed that away, he returned, and being- 

 satiated Avith potatoes, tasted the biscuit, which had 

 been soaked in grease and was tender. The piece 

 he selected had a larger piece hanging to it, and to 

 see him pull the latter off with his fore-paws was 

 highly amusing. The biscuit, on trial, proving ac- 

 ceptable, with a little flirt and another cry, he 

 seized quite a large piece, and with a glance at us 

 as much as to say, " I am only taking a fair rent for 

 the use of my land," he ran off with it in the same 

 lively, confident way. It was a beautiful sight, and 

 we stopped our meal to watch his pranks.
